Michigan whitewater - Presque Isle, Gogebic Range, Gogebic County

Gogebic county, South Boundary Road to Lake Superior section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     1.1 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Michigan are easier than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. This section of Presque Isle is 1.1 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV-V section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. This stretch is very short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and
    over. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The wild scenery of the Gogebic Range is great. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want
to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Michigan and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
